20,000 metres

The 20,000 metres (approximately 12.43 mi or 65,617 ft) is a rarely contested long-distance running event in track and field competitions; most world records in the event have been set during half marathons and one-hour races, as a half marathon is roughly 21,000 meters.

This article is about the track race. It is not to be confused with 20K run, the same distance run on a road.
